The Drosera genus, commonly known as Sundew, consists of over 130 species found all over the world. These carnivorous plants come in a variety of sizes, from tiny rosettes as small as 6-8 mm to tall, upright species reaching up to 50 cm in height. Some species, such as tuberous Drosera, have developed underground tubers that help them survive dry and warm periods.

How Does Drosera Capture Its Prey?
Sundews have evolved a highly effective trapping mechanism to capture insects. Their leaves are covered in glistening, sticky droplets, which attract prey through color, scent, and shine. Once an insect lands on the leaf, it becomes trapped in the sticky mucus. The more it struggles, the more entangled it becomes.After securing its prey, the plant’s tentacle-like structures slowly wrap around the insect, holding it in place while digestive enzymes break it down, allowing the plant to absorb essential nutrients.
